ZAMBIA-Don’t copy Kenya - Zambia president warns judges not to imitate Maraga in presidential ruling

“I want to make it very clear. People are saying Zambian courts should emulate Kenyan courts. People are saying Zambian courts should be brave and make decisions which are in the interest of the people — but look at what’s happening in Kenya now," he said. 
- President Edgar Lungu has warned Zambia's judges against blocking him from running in 2021 elections, saying a judicial intervention like that in Kenya could plunge the country into chaos.
- If Lungu formally registers' his candidacy to contest 2021's polls then opposition parties could seek to have the bid ruled illegal.
- The country's constitution says that a president can serve only two terms of five years.
